Hogwarts: I will never become the Dark Lord

Jerry's lips twitched slightly, then he forcefully pulled his hand back, looking at Lockhart speechlessly. Was it because he had used the Oblivion Charm too much that he was also affected?

Have you already forgotten the lessons learned from the Duel Club?

Lockhart, you don't actually think you were careless and didn't dodge, which is why you almost got killed by my spell, do you?

It's not enough for a guy to just fool others; he shouldn't fool himself too!

Jerry couldn't tell if this guy was just carefree or genuinely stupid!

Why don't you buy him some sunflower seeds and see?

Fortunately, Lockhart had caused quite a commotion, and Snape arrived with a gust of cold wind, rescuing Jerry and driving Lockhart away.

Seeing Lockhart completely ignoring Snape's murderous expression and still grinning, seemingly unwilling to leave, Jerry couldn't help but think to himself, "Sorry, Professor Lockhart, Headmaster Snape won't let me play with idiots!"

"Looks like you're even more popular with the students than Lockhart! You've received so many gifts!" Snape's gaze darted back and forth between Jerry and Hermione before he slammed his hand on Jerry's shoulder and said in an unusually cold tone.

Jerry gave an awkward laugh, but thankfully Snape didn't linger there for long. He snorted and left the long table!

After Lockhart and Snape left, Harry breathed a sigh of relief, then said angrily, "Lockhart is such a jerk!"

"I have something to do, I'll be leaving for a bit." Jerry ignored Harry and the others, and quietly said goodbye to Hermione.

"Where's Jerry? Why did he leave?"

Hermione looked at Jerry who had suddenly left and shook her head in confusion.

"What do you want? Is there a result from the investigation you were asked to investigate?"

After returning from the lobby, Jerry went straight to Catherine's private lounge.

A few days ago, Jerry received a letter from Rozier, which mainly talked about two things.

The first matter concerns the French Ministry of Magic. Since Vincent Martin was killed by Jerry, Baptiste, the former head of the Office for the Prevention of the Abuse of Magic, had no rivals and was successfully elected as the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

The first thing this guy did after taking office was to intensify the hunt for "Blackwing," and even issue an international warrant for the arrest of wizards.

Jerry glanced at the bounty list and saw that in addition to money, there were also many precious magical materials, which made him very envious.

Jerry put the list away, deciding that next time he went to France, he would simply "buy" according to this list.

The second thing is that a German Auror named Flory suddenly arrived in England, his purpose still unclear. However, according to Rozier and his team's investigation, this person seems to have connections with the higher-ups of the Apostles.

So, the moment Jerry received the letter, he found Catherine and asked her to secretly investigate this person! He had a strong feeling that this bastard was after him.

However, Rozier's direct use of an owl to send a message to himself at Hogwarts was something he hadn't expected; it was as if he didn't take Dumbledore seriously at all!

Jerry always felt that Rosier harbored a lot of malice towards Dumbledore and disliked him intensely. Actually, thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Not only did the man she liked not like her back, but he also fell in love with another man! No wonder Rosier was upset!

“Your Majesty…” Catherine said hesitantly in the lounge.

"Just say what you found out. Why are you stammering? Is he one of your apostles' men?" Seeing Catherine's hesitant expression, Jerry knew that this matter might be more complicated than he had imagined!

“Your Majesty, Flori is not a member of our organization, but... however, he has close ties with the Third Bishop, and he has done many things for the Third Bishop.”

"The reason I want you to investigate is why he came to England!"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this..."

Seeing Catherine bowing her head in apology, Jerry glanced at her in surprise.

"The Third Bishop is also a high-ranking member of your apostles. With your status, Catherine, it shouldn't be difficult for you to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

“Your Majesty, the Third Bishop is a bit special. This man has always disagreed with my grandfather, and also…”

"So, this person's loyalty is questionable?" Jerry asked in surprise, looking at Catherine who dared not continue.

Catherine looked at Jerry and gently shook her head.

"This is interesting!" Jerry thought to himself. He understood what Catherine meant. This so-called Third Bishop wasn't lacking in loyalty to the organization, but rather in loyalty to him, Jerry Green.

In the past, the apostles Jerry had encountered would have knelt down and become his dogs the moment they saw him. This was the first time he had met an apostle as extraordinary as the Third Bishop.

"Your Majesty, the Apostles have existed for thousands of years, and some people and things have changed in secret! But rest assured, the Ferris family's loyalty to Your Majesty will never change!"

"The matter I asked you to investigate... you told your grandfather, Kevin Ferris, about it?"

"No, Your Majesty, didn't you order a secret investigation?"

Jerry nodded. In fact, he didn't trust Kevin Ferris, that old fox, either. In fact, he thought that people like the Third Bishop were the normal phenomenon, while the loyalty of Kevin Ferris and Catherine was too strange!

He initially thought the Apostle Organization was united, but now it seems the relationships among their higher-ups are quite complicated!

"Your Majesty, I think it would be best if you didn't leave Hogwarts during this time!"

"Why? Is Flory dangerous?"

“The Third Bishop is a dangerous man; he’s an extremely tyrannical madman! He doesn’t deserve to possess magic or become a noble wizard!” Catherine said with disgust, holding Jerry’s hand. “Those who work for him don’t live long. They’re either killed by others or by the Third Bishop himself when he’s in a bad mood! Flory has survived under him for so long; he must be no ordinary person!”

So the Third Bishop is also a "non-beef eater"! Jerry thought to himself.

Chapter 130 is not what was planned!

"Where are the other two bishops? Don't you have four bishops?" Jerry asked curiously.

"The Second Bishop hardly participates in organizational affairs and is rarely seen. As for the Fourth Bishop... he disappeared after an outing more than ten years ago, and there has been no news of him since."

"Didn't you send anyone to look for this missing bishop?"

The bishop held a very high position among the apostles, and given that he had been missing for so long, it was impossible that they hadn't searched for him.

“We searched, but unfortunately, we found nothing!” Catherine shook her head and said. “If only he were still in the organization. The Fourth Bishop had a very good relationship with my grandfather, and he was the strongest of all the bishops. With him around, the Third Bishop would never dare to act recklessly!”

Upon hearing this, Jerry frowned slightly. It was almost impossible for a powerful figure of this level to kill him without making a sound, or even prevent him from sending out any messages.

Either there really is an old monster-level being who can kill him in one blow, or he has hidden himself away!

“Your Majesty, I still feel it’s safer to stay at Hogwarts for the time being. If you really have to leave the school, I can accompany you!”

“Let’s talk about this later! Let’s focus on investigating why Flory came to England first! Maybe we’re overthinking it and worrying unnecessarily!” Jerry sighed, leaning back on the sofa in the lounge.

"But Your Majesty, what if my grandfather asks..."

Jerry lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I know what you mean. If he asks you about it, just tell him!"

Kevin Ferris was, after all, the Archbishop of the Apostles, managing all affairs of the organization, and Catherine's investigation could not escape his notice.

……

"What's going on? Why are they arguing again?"

After Jerry left the common room, he entered the Great Hall of Hogwarts and saw Harry and Malfoy hugging... no, wrestling.

"It's all because of Lockhart!" Hermione said helplessly. "Jerry, let's try to separate them first. If the professor comes and sees them fighting again, he'll definitely lose points!"

Lockhart? What's he up to now? Didn't he already leave school to party with some of his female fans?

Just as Jerry pulled out his wand, ready to separate the two, someone shouted from the back of the crowd, "Snape's here!"

Harry and Malfoy were so frightened that they immediately separated!

Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately looked towards the back of the crowd. After searching around and not finding Snape, he realized that someone had deliberately shouted that.

Hey, I never expected you to be such a talent!

If Snape knew that his name could be used like that, he would definitely call you into his office and thank you privately!

"Lockhart is right, Saint Potter, the 'Shockwave' savior, refused the girl's gift!" After they parted, Malfoy still didn't give up mocking Harry, saying sarcastically to his little followers behind him, and then bursting into laughter.

"Damn Malfoy!"

"You filthy, stinking excrement!"

Fortunately, students from their respective colleges held them back, otherwise a fight might have broken out.

Jerry stood aside, watching the two of them speechlessly. Now he knew why Hermione said it was all Lockhart's fault! No doubt about it!

Now, thinking back on Lockhart's hurtful words, it's chilling! Could he be a master hater on Harry?

No wonder Malfoy came right up to him and unleashed his ultimate attack to taunt him!

"Hermione, forget about them. Didn't you say you wanted to see the giant squid in the Black Lake during the holidays? This morning I heard from the Weasley twins that the giant squid is in the water not far from the shore today."

"Then let's go quickly! I've been at Hogwarts for so long, and I've only ever heard about giant squid; I've never actually seen one!"

Just as the two were about to leave, a dwarf with a particularly gloomy face used his elbow to push through the crowd and squeeze towards Harry.

“Harry Potter, you have a Valentine’s Day gift with a song,” the dwarf said, strumming his harp with an aggressive air. “His eyes are as green as freshly pickled toads, his hair as black as a chalkboard, he is the hero who conquered the Dark Lord…”

Harry tried to stop them, but it was too late; everyone around them burst into laughter.

"Pfft!" Jerry couldn't help but laugh when he heard the dwarf's strange voice and even stranger lyrics.

Under Harry's sullen gaze, Jerry quickly pulled Hermione away from the hall, otherwise he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back and would laugh too loudly!

"Jerry, it's huge!"

"By the Black Lake," Hermione said, pointing to the giant squid.

At this moment, the giant squid was swimming dreamily on the shallows by the shore, lazily swaying its tentacles on the water's surface.

"It's really big!" Jerry muttered to himself, staring at the squid's tentacles. "I just wonder what it tastes like, and whether the meat will be tough! I wonder if the Divine Sharpness Curse can cut through it!"

"Jerry, what are you muttering about?" Hermione, who was walking ahead, turned around and asked Jerry with a puzzled look.

"It's okay! Be careful, the ground is wet, be careful..."

Before Jerry could finish his warning to Hermione, her foot suddenly slipped, and her body, like a puppet out of control, fell into Jerry's arms without warning.

Jerry instinctively reached out and hugged Hermione tightly.

Jerry: Did you do it on purpose, or by accident, or on purpose by accident?

Hermione collapsed into Jerry's arms, then looked up at him, her eyes filled with shock.

At that moment, they were so close they could hear each other's heartbeats. Hermione could clearly feel Jerry's warm breath, each breath mingling with hers.

For some reason, Hermione remained nestled in Jerry's arms, motionless for a long time, her head tilted back, her face turned toward Jerry, her eyes slightly closed.

She held the position for a while before getting up, her face flushed and hot. After straightening her clothes, she explained in a low voice, "Sorry, Jerry, I accidentally lost my balance!"

"It's good that you're alright. Let's go see the giant squid quickly!"

"Forget it, let's go back! I've suddenly lost interest in giant squid!"
